Default 1988 Landrover Defender 90 Project

Though I would throw a thread u of our Land Rover we are building. It's my brothers mainly, as he's financing it, but I'm lending a hand where I can to build it. And do some panel work.

It's an ex BT Land Rover, hence the yellow paint on the insides etc.

First thing to do with a Land Rover is strip it down! See what we're dealing with.

To be fair, it was in reasonable shape. However, my brother wanted it to be nice so had the chassis shot blasted and replaced much of the chassis, new out riggers, cross members etc.

Then 3M sealed the chassis.
